Somedays, a lot of days, I go to the kitchen around dinner time. It’s a fairly predictive occurrence. Out of those times when I go to the kitchen, more often then not, I am in search of food. As one would expect. I go, I bake a potato, I eat the potato. I realize an hour later, I’m hungry. I go, I put some cream cheese on bread, I eat the cream cheese bread. A half-hour passes by, and I wonder why I didn’t just make a whole dinner and be done with it.

Now is the time to make dinner. This one took about 10 minutes from thinking about what to make to having the fork in my mouth. So it should take less time for you, I suppose.
